$5 says if you had pulled the trans you'd be done by now
It really is easier to do it the correct way.

i would have done the clutch pedal route, but there was two problems.
1- there is NOBODY else here to help.
2- the damn cable fell off and the pos wouldnt go back on
called it a night and my cousin is going to help me tomorrow with the screwed up back. it might be easier without a transmission, but this isint a race car or something to just tear apart, it is meant to be my dd.
we had done it a couple times before with the transmission in there fine, just a pita by yourself obviously. hopefully tomorrow

Here is how we did it on truck trannys, get the trans in as far as you can and it is probably still about an inch short? Put in a couple of extra long bolts to keep it from falling out and have someone crank the engine over while you push the tranny in with your feet.
